The professional dancer—who left the ballroom competition show in 2022 after 26 seasons—shared the eyebrow-raising new video to TikTok on Thursday, May 1, where she transitioned from a clip of her completely bare face into another shot of her with a glamorous makeup look.
But many of her fans were caught off guard by the clip, with several users in the comments saying they couldn’t even tell it was Burke after first seeing the makeup-free clip.
“Jeeze I didn’t recognize her at all,” one user wrote, while another user asked, “What happened?! 🥺 She doesn’t look the same.”
Another perplexed commenter simply added, “Whoa.”
While showing off her makeup look in the second half of the video, Burke also gave fans a glimpse at her outfit, featuring a skin-tight purple dress that showed off her extremely toned physique.
“Omg Cheryl! You look amazing! Hope you’re healthy mama!” one of her fans wrote, while others speculated about the possible use of a weight loss drug like Ozempic.
“I hate how everyone feels they need to look sooo skinny now 😔” one user wrote.
But other fans came to Burke’s defense, including one who clapped back in the comments, “@Cheryl Burke been that girl and will forever be that girl!! Come back when y’all are 40 and look this good!”
